HALL, MCPHILLIPS POWER BC PAST TUSCULUM IN DOUBLE OT, 2-1

BC snapped a six-match losing skid

BREVARD, N.C.-Brevard College freshman Caleb Hall
drilled home the game-winning goal in double overtime while BC picked up its
first conference win, 2-1, against Tusculum Wednesday evening at Brevard Soccer
Field in Brevard, N.C.

The Tornados (3-7, 1-4 SAC) defeated Tusculum in overtime for the second
consecutive season while Ryan McPhillips continued his torrid run with another
goal. With the win, BC has won more games this season (three) than last (two).

The Pioneers dropped to 3-6, 1-4 SAC and all six losses have been by one
goal, including four in overtime.

“It’s exciting, but it comes down to hard work, hard work and hard work,”
said head coach and BC Athletic Director Juan Mascaro. “We stayed on track; we
stayed with the game plan.”

BC freshman McPhillips bounced back after missing a penalty kick and
netted his team-high fifth goal when he received a feed from Marcelo Betcer and
blasted it past Tusculum’s Ashley Elsey in the 76th minute to give BC a 1-0
lead.

“Coaches come in and give us a system and its’ worked out quite well for
us,” said McPhillips. “The win is a great starting point for us. The season isn’t
over yet.”

However, the lead was short lived as the Pioneers responded when Roberto
Pimental crushed a ball from 35 yards out and bested BC’s Heath Turner to knot
it up at 1 in the 85th minute.

The match proved to be chippie while Brevard accumulated two yellows, but
Tusculum racked up three yellows and two red cards.

In the second overtime, the Tornados took advantage of the two-man favor
when they fired eight shots on goal in the period. Hall was placed perfectly
after an Alec Goettl shot was deflected to his feet. Hall fired in the
game-winner with 1:01 remaining in the match to snap BC’s six-match losing skid
and to give the Tornados its second double overtime victory of the season.

BC outshot Tusculum, 17-15, and matched its season-high in shots despite
being outshot 9-4 in the second half. Turner turned in three saves while Elsey
impressed with seven. McPhillips and Rhem Stubbs both accumulated three shots
while four other Tornados racked up two shots.

The Tornados seek consecutive wins when they travel to Wingate, N.C. for
a SAC match against Wingate Friday evening at 7 p.m.
